FEW FACTS REGARDING THE EYES DR. CLENDENING TELLS OF GLASSES, STYES, BLACKENED ORBS Bv LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. never coserved such a misfortune. SOME QUESTIONS about the eye : "Is there danger of eye glasses breaking and cutting the eyeball?” Os course this is a possibility, and yet it is strange how rarely it oc curs. Many busy eye specialists have never observed such a misfortune. The frequent cause, according to my own recollection, is in golf play ers when a golf ball bounds back and breaks the glasses. • • Will I always have to wear glasses?” Those who deny themselves good vision because they fear that the use of glasses will make them de pendent have a wrong conception of the matter. The people who really need glasses probably will always have to use them, but there is no reason why they should be denied that extra comfort, or why they should put off the appointed day. The reason for glasses is a difference in the sire or shape of the eyeball from normal and cannot be outgrown. It is true that some people outgrow the need far glasses, but this is a con dition that occurs in old age, known as “second sight” due to perfectly normal causes. The people who have second sight in old age are • the ones who probably have had very defective vision in youth. Circles Under Eyes “Are circles under the eyes a sign of eye trouble?” Almost never is the condition called "circles under the eyes” an indica tion of real disease. It is certainly not an Indication of poor eyesight. Some people are so contituted that they have veins under the skin which become more apparent because of too little fat. If the family doctor can assure the patient that there is no anemia and the general condition is good, circles under the eyes have no meaning except as they occur from time to time when they Indicate fa tigue. Is a black eye serious?” Usually not. It is a hemorrhage into the tissues of the skin, but some times it indicates a hemorrhage into the eyeball itself and possible frac tures of a bone. Under any circum stances it should be investigated by a competent person. “Are puffy lids of any signifi cance?” They seldom mean that there is anything wrong with the eyes. The family doctor is probably better able to come to a conclusion as to the cause than the eye specialist. “What is the meaning of styes?” Sty fe Infection ‘ . A sty is simply an infection of the hair follicles of the meibomian glands in the lid. 'While they may often be annoying, because they keep reap pearing like weeds in a garden, they are really quite harmless. The con nection between styes and poor vi sion is certainly not direct. It Is fre quently said that anybody who has styes needs glasses. The only connec- Mwifi Ik Vo wiy & ■nMK bwwßkT 1 " i» « Mff i J Summer heat causes blow-outs.

Sometimes they are due to some change in the eyeball. COMMUNIST DENOUNCES REPUBLICAN PLATFORM NEW YORK, June 15 (TP)—The general secretary of the American Cotnmunist Party.
